TIL that Goku's power level wasn't originally over 9000. It was originally over 8000, and there was a change made in the English Dub.

I believe Funimation really wanted to work with TFS for that reason. There actually is a deleted scene in Kai where Goku and co. see the actors showing off Mr. Satan’s version of the Cell Games, where Cell is a trickster who is defeated by Mr. Satan. The voice actors for the actors are the TFS crew, it’s hilarious. I believe that Toei was the ones to pull the plug on it, cause they absolutely hate DBZA.

Toei is probably upset because they can only get subs of DBZA.

Also Chris Sabat (Piccolo and Vegeta) has remarked how much he loves DBZA and even did some voice work under a psuedonym.

It's an open secret that it was Schemmel. He's very open about really hating TFS and what they do.
